How many of you get a mailbox full of unsolicited ads, catalogs, credit card applications, etc.? The other question is what do you do with it? Do you just toss it, unopened, in the trash? Do you sort out the personal, financial stuff, and trash the rest?
I know it's a pain to process this unwanted barrage of junk mail. Opening, sorting, shredding (we're all aware of identity theft) and recycling. Did you know you can even recycle your shredded material? Just place it in a bag that can be secured so it doesn't blow out.
Not only does recycling save space in our landfills and conserve our natural resources, it helps conserve energy, water and cuts down on air and water pollution. We have but one planet, and its resources are not without limit.
The goal for paper recycling is to recover 60% of paper consumed by Americans by 2012.
For more information on recycling, Paperrecycles.org has a section on frequently asked questions and other recycling facts, and Curb to Consumer has videos on paper recycling.
